Description Karthik Sundaravel 2021-09-14 11:52:08 UTC

Using the below command, SR-IOV shall be enabled on eno2 and the VFs shall be configured for mac, max-tx-rate, min-tx-rate, vlan, qos, spoofcheck, trust.

nmcli con add type 802-3-ethernet con-name EthernetPF ifname eno2 sriov.total-vfs 4 sriov.vfs '0 mac=00:11:22:33:44:55 vlans=10.5, 1 trust=true spoof-check=false'

os-net-config needs a cli to get the interface names of the created VFs, so that the device names could be used for configuring the VFs with MTU, promisc, ipaddress, bonds.

Hi Karthik,


The nmcli is not designed to provide information regarding PF/VF relationship. Could you try:

 * Find out the VF MAC address of `ip -d -j link show <pf_nic_name>`.
 * Find out the VF name for contain MAC address via `ip -j link show`.

Hi Gris
